I am sorry that you had a bad day, do you see a therapist?

Have you had to put up with this type of behavior before?

You can learn a different way. I had to learn to stand up for myself. Do you see anything that you can do differently? If you believe that you are weak then you will act weak. You are not weak, you just think that you are. Do you feel that you deserve to stand up for yourself? Do you see anything else that is holding you back?

Me standing up for myself just makes me feel like crap...i feel like i should be nice and take the punches as they go (figurativly). I take crap from everyone i feel like i have to like its my duty to do so.

Do you understand how you got "trained" to behave and believe like this?

I have no clue... ever since i was young ive done it... i was always ok with it untill things back fire and i the more i started to learn in college the more i wanted to say what i felt and the more i noticed how it killed me to disagree with people and how i felt bad for saying what i felt.

When you were growing up your parents must have done some things that gave you the message that you cannot speak up and give your opinion. If you understand how you got to this point you will be able to make changes.
